Privacy Impact Assessments

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service conducts a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on information
systems collecting personally identifiable information from the public. We do PIAs to ensure that:

we tell the public the information that we collect about them,

we adequately address impacts these systems have on personal privacy,

we collect only enough personal information to administer our programs, and no more

Also, PIAs confirm that we use the information for the purpose intended; that the information
remains timely and accurate; that it is protected while we have it, and we hold it only for as
long as we need it.
